Jasper Fforde

4.12 AVERAGE


This was such a great book!

I loved the world building, the characters, the situations, the wit; Fforde nailed it! I may even reread it one day since I have a better grasp of the world and all its characters, elements, and rules!

The narrator of the audiobook, John Lee, really brought the world to life with his many accents and witty cadence! A great listen; one of the better audiobooks I've listened to!
